Pressbox (Press Release) -
Henry Mitchell's 5th fantasy novel releases February 22nd. The Winged Child is his latest Magical Realism tale featuring timely commentary on current events.
An adult fairytale about a girl who might know how to fly, a neurobotanist who might be a dragon, an innkeeper who might be a machine and a politician who might be the antichrist.
Millicent McTeer grows to adulthood in Ashton, an Appalachian tourist town, convinced she knows how to fly. With a new president in power, the life Millicent knew changes. The government has spies on every corner, coercing citizens to follow the new order. As the country descends into anarchy, Millicent is drawn into political activism by her professor and becomes an exile.
In the Laurel Creek Containment District, separated from the chaos of the Atlantic American Republic, she finds a new life. As she develops her unique abilities and leads the exiles, incursions from the outside world threaten to destroy the tranquil life they have built together. Will Millicent reclaim her reality and discover the peace that has eluded her?
Mid-West book review says The Winged Child "features thought-provoking social, political, and psychological insights to draw and delight readers across genres, posing questions that even tread lightly into spiritual realms as Millicent finds other travelers on her path and begins to wonder if her choices, life, and actions are being influenced and directed in some manner.”
The Winged Child is available in ebook and paperback online wherever books are sold.
